When Slaughter House come with the ill wordplay and sick multi syllables yall same ? voting for big boi will turn around and call them some ol rappidy rap ass ? like yall dont appreciate raw lyrics ....But soon as its a guy yall condone doin it yall act like ? is setting the booth on fire. Yall dudes is a trip

    I dont see why this is such a bad comparison simply cause they are both GOAT rappers. Throw all albums out and put rapper against rapper in their primes and I bet It would be closer than you think. Hard to find flaws in either, its a matter of ones preference. Cube is the straight to the point in your face rapper, Big Boi is the witty, crazy flow rapper.

    Ice Cube worst record >> Speakerboxxx,

    Not saying Big Boi sucks but music wise, he doesn't make classics without Andre3000 realistically. Plus Cube on NWA was that ? back in the day. Imo, I always thought Sean Paul from Youngbloodz was a better lyricist than Big Boi.

    Its interesting that you said the bolded because It made me immediately think, If both were on stage or better yet if they had a wax battle goin on, Even tho Cube was smiling around in "Are we there yet" and Big boi has the more versatile flow(no dought about that, dont make him better but its the truth) can anybody in this thread who voted for Big Boi truely if they life was on the line predict with confidence that Big Boi would be able to get Cube in a battle?

    Mind you

    Now yeah Ice does some chuckin and jiving movie wise but this is still the same ? that made "No Vasaline" and "King of the hill"

    has Outkast ever sonned Anybody?

    There can't be anyone over the age of 29 yearsold that could vote for Big Boi.

    Being the better battle rapper doesn't mean you're the better rapper, you're just better in that particular category.

    The only thing I gave Big Boi over Cube is flow versatility. It could be argued that Flow is only one category too. Its kinda weird that if they was goin at each other in battle the more proven battle guy of the two which is also the guy that can make the most classics AINT the better rapper to you guys

    Have they ever needed to? No

    My vote had nothing to do with Ice Cube starring in movies btw, I highly respect him for what he's done in the past. I simply like Big Boi's style as a rapper better than Cube's.
